Red Sprite: Tucker Report
Added 2021-08-12 02:56:55 +0000 UTCTucker's episode notes (including name pronunciation/meaning) for our Red Sprite episode
NOTES
- Author: Yagi, Tomohiro 屋宜 知宏
- -All short
- Apparently previously worked under the pen name “屋宜智博” before he started at Jump….it’s a homonym (same family name just spelled with different characters, pronounced the same)
JPN Wikipedia article on the author:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B1%8B%E5%AE%9C%E7%9F%A5%E5%AE%8F
-no article for the series, even in Japanese!
- Characters
- Tatsu Frampt
- “Tatsu” probably comes from the word “to stand”
- The only thing I can find on the internet referring to the word “Frampt” is a boss in Dark Souls. Sounds like it should be German, but it’s not
- Durant
- Means “during” in French, but that can’t be what the author was going for, right?
- “Du” isn’t a possible sound natively in Japanese, so I’m wondering if this is even supposed to be this character’s name…? Can’t find the original spelling.
- Tatsu Frampt
- Libellula:
- The Latin name for North American dragonflies
- Stuff:
- Skirvir (the ship)
- A name from Old Norse?
- Probably meant to be pronounced like “skeer-veer,” though can’t be sure
- Skirvir (the ship)
